Tuesday, September 11th, 2001
Boston, Massachusetts

*7:00 a.m.*

At exactly seven in the morning, Alison Dilaurentis-Fields' alarm clock in the hotel where she is staying goes off. She is to be at the airport in just over an hour, so she can fly home to be with her wife and children, whom she has not seen since last Friday.

Alison quickly throws on some clothes, just a comfortable shirt and pants that also look "half decent." She packs her toiletries, grabs her shoes and jacket, and loads up the trolley with her suitcases.

At the airport, Alison stands in line to check in. There are tons of people here, milling around, some hurrying to get to their business meetings, and Ali even spots a mother and her three children holding up a sign. She watches as the crowd of people just unboarding a plane disperses and a man dressed in camo is greeted by the three children running over to him, screaming "Daddy!"

Once she is checked in, Ali goes to the waiting area for her gate. Then she decides to call Emily. Her wife should be up with their twin daughters right now.

"Hey, baby," Emily greets.

"Hey, Em! How's everything there? The kids giving you a hard time or anything?"

"No, nothing like that. Jon was very helpful last night with the twins. He took a shower and laid his clothes out without much fuss and kept the babies entertained while I had a shower and something to eat."

Alison is impressed with this. Don't get her wrong, Jon is by no means a child with behavioral issues or anything, but he is still a nine-year-old boy who has his occasional moments of disrespect, attitude, and not listening.

"Wow! Maybe we should think about paying him more,"

"That's what I was thinking. Maybe we could discuss when you get home?"

"That sounds good. I was just wanting to call you to say that I am going to be getting on a plane soon. I'll be there around 11 a.m. or so. I'm going to come home, freshen up, and then go to pick him up for lunch?"

"That sounds good. How about I come with you. I can go in to check him out and then you can surprise him in the car?" Alison agrees to that and, after speaking for a while longer, Alison says she has to go because her flight is going to be called soon.

Ali takes her phone and plugs it up in one of the many outlets underneath the window.

She has approxmately 25 minutes before she has to baord, so she decides to do the last minutes things, go to the bathroom and grab a bottle of water from a vending machine.

As Alison is looking through a magazine, she hears a sudden cry from what sounds like a young child. Looking up, she sees a redheaded little boy, no older than 3 or 4. An older child, this one about 8 or 9, also a boy, is standing beside the younger child, while he holds his cheek as a little one would after being hit in the face.

Looking around, she does not see any adults that may be their parents, nor does anyone else seem to have noticed what is going on, so she stands up and approaches the two.

"Hey, there, guys. What's going on here? Where are your parents?"

"Papa has gone," The older boy has an accent, Alison guesses it's British. "Mum told us to wait here. Tommy was not listening. I just gave him a pop like Mum would."

Pushing back the urge to scold this child for slapping or "popping" his younger brother in the face, she says, "Well, now. Let's just come over here and sit down, shall we?"

She brings the two over to her seat and has them sit down. "Now, can you two tell me your names? My name is Alison. What are yours? How old are you two?"

"My name is Charlie. I am nine years old. This is my brother Thomas, but we call him Tommy. He is turning 4 in two weeks."

"Okay, Charlie and Tommy. Can either of you tell me where your mom is right now?"

Charlie shrugs as an answer. "Mum told us to wait here. She did not say where she was going."

Alison sighs. She looks around for anyone that may be looking for their children. She sees men and women dressed for conferences. She sees families dressed in matching shirts as if they are going somewhere fun for a vacation. She sees little girls and boys at the window, watching the planes take off and land.

But she does not see anyone who Charlie and Tommy may belong to.

"OK, it is going to all right. I need you to wait here, okay?" Charlie nods while Tommy is still sniffling. Alison gets out a bag of chips and some water. "Here is a snack for you two. It's ok. Go ahead and take it." Charlie takes the water while Tommy gets the chips. She helps him open it, and he eagerly begins eating them.

"I am going to go to a service desk and ask for them to page your mom, alright? Can you tell me what her name is?"

"Um…" Suddenly, Charlie does not look like the confident 9-year-old he was moments ago. He straightens up and begins to look panicked. "N-no, you don't have to do that, Miss Alison. Our mom-she told…she really told us that we should meet her in the…um…" Alison just raises an eyebrow as the little boy flounders for an explanation, an excuse, anything at all.

"McDonald's!" Tommy pipes up. "Mummy said 'meet me at McDonald's'"

"Yes!" Charlie is quickly agreeing, jumping up from the seat. "That's right, she said McDonald's. Come on, Tommy." The younger boy jumps up also. He grabs his brother's hand and the two take off before Alison can get even get a single word out.

Standing up from her bent position, she looks around. She gets fleeting sight of Charlie before he disappears into the crowd.

Alison just sighs deeply, throwing her hands up as she plops down onto one of the chairs. She gets out the magazine and doesn't even get halfway through a paragraph before her flight number and gate is being called.

Alison grabs her purse, her water, and her suitcase, and heads to the line. The person greets her and she hands him her ticket. Checking that it is right, Alison is sent through the terminal.

Alison just can't stop smiling. In less than four hours, she will see Emily, Jon, and Lily and Grace. She feels giddy. It may seem silly, but this is the longest Ali has been away from her family since getting married.

Usually, Emily and Alison would take Jon out of school for Ali's buisness trips. They would extend the trip a few days and go have fun, since they were far and few over the years. Now, they have 3-month-old twins and so they can't just pack up and leave for a few days.

As Alison is taking her seat, she looks through her purse for her MP3 player, so she can listen to some music. As she digs around, she realizes she does not have her wallet. Which means she has no money and she does not have her driver's license or any of her credit cards.

Panicking, she stands up and finds a flight attendant. She pleads with her to let her off. She really needs to go find her wallet.

She has no idea of the actual reason she feels the need to get off the plane.

And here is chapter 3! You got to see some stuff in Alison's point of view. The part with Charlie and Tommy was completely random and basically filler. I just needed something to make the chapter longer. :/

The next chapter will go back and forth between Emily and Ali and have a lot more details.

Please review! Let me know what you thought. I would love to know! I have the next three chapters ready to post. I am working on chapter 7. Give me five reviews for this chapter and as soon as I get them, I'll update with #4! :)

Random notes relevant only to those that watch DC The Legends of Tomorrow... **Spoiler Alert for those that have NOT watched season 3!

Ugh, you guys! I just watched the season 3 final of The Legends. *Spoiler Alert* I can't believe Amaya is gone! I mean, I know why she had to leave to go back to Zambesi and I knew it was going to happen, but actually watching it, T.T The only good thing is Avalance (Ava Sharpe/Sara Lance) in season 4. Btw, for those that watch, the trailer has CONFIRMED that Avalance is a go for S4! (I'm so excited, only 15 more days! (Oct. 22). :D
